Sorry you aren't feeling well. I think it might e wise to ring the GP and see what he says about how best to deal with your flare.

Thanks for reply Beth.

Gonna give the out of hours a call I dnt want it getting any worse.cant seem to get control of my asthma at all I'm on home nebs salbutamol and ipatropium symbicort 400/12 singulair 10mg an Telfast 180mg for allergies. Any1 any other ideas of which drugs cud help me iv tryed theophylline seritide and fostair

There are still other things your doctor could try. Ciclesonide (an add on steroid inhaler) seems popular, then there are oral steroids as you know, etc etc. Im on 22 drugs in total and really hope you never get to that point, but it shows there are lots of options! I hope youve managed to get some help now and are soon feeling much better.

Hope you've spoken to ooh at least. Won't lecture you as I'm sure you've been there, done that, got the t shirt lol.

I'm uncontrolled on a bucket load of stuff, also tried seretide, symbicort, fostair + ciclesonide. Now I'm on flutiform - it's a new drug and I'm on an unlicensed dose, but seems to be making a difference. Saying that I'm back in costa! Silly lungs and their stroppy ness!

What do you think is triggering you? X
